Here’s the final installment of “The Meghan Project”. It’s right on word target, but please still let me know what you think is most interesting … (Don’t forget to use the glossary if there are terms that are unfamiliar).

12 Twelfth House

The twelfth house is a subtle and inner place that represents liberation, contemplation, sacrifices, losses, secret pleasures, places of confinement and foreign lands. This 12th house has only one indication of prosperity which is its rasi aspect from Venus. There is far more support for annihilation coming from the houselord not aspecting its own house while being conjunct 2 malefics and an inauspicious houselord.

12.1 Person’s Life Experience

Meghan is known to meditate and practice yoga. She has lived in foreign lands.

12.2 Sign

The twelfth house is taking place in Gemini. Gemini is a mutable air sign. Its symbol is twins holding a club and lyre. It is rajasic and of the vata constitution. As the 12th house is such an inner and subtle space it is hard to know the reality of what another person is experiencing in that space. But, it could be noted that there is perhaps plenty of movement in these areas of Meghan’s life. For example, it is known that she has moved to live in several foreign lands (see previous blog post, section 2.4.1.2). As her most spiritual house is ruled by human twins, it can be postulated that her approach to spirituality will be human which is perhaps why she finds human causes so inspiring. She may find meditation less than natural as there are so many indications for movement and activity in this sign. This is perhaps what Meghan was referring to when she said “meditation – something I found endlessly daunting at first (the thoughts, the distractions, the boredom of it)” (The Tig 2015).

12.3 Planet

Mercury is the ruler of the 12th house of this chart. Mercury is rajasic and of mixed constitution and mixed taste. It is benefic and malefic depending on the company it keeps and is able to see both sides of an argument. It is witty, analytical and a karaka for communication, task management and friendship. It is in Neutral dignity, with good Shad bala, a high positive yoga potential and is not being starved by any planetary aspect.

Mercury shares many of the ‘movement’ qualities that Gemini has creating a double indicator for activity in the 12th house of quiet and still contemplation.

The fact that Meghan wrote about Meditation in her website brand “The Tig” was a very Mercury motivated action. She wanted to communicate with her ‘friends’ (readers) (both Mercury karakas) about contemplation (12th House) and connected meditation to her famous friends (she mentions Richard Simmons) in the post (Mercury – friends).

12.4 Bhava Yogas

12.4.1 Ascendant Yogas

Mercury links the 3rd house and the 12th house for Cancer ascendants. A natural product of this yoga is an interest in both short and long journeys to foreign lands and travelling in general. It also connects friends with losses and can cause Cancer ascendants to be let down by their friends or for their friends to be a source of anxiety. This played out recently in an incident with Meghan’s former close friend Jessica Mulroney (see previous blog post, section 2.4.2).

12.4.2 12th in the 2nd

The 12th lord in the 2nd house links selflessness with feeding others. Meghan is well known for volunteering at soup kitchens (Daniel 2017) The yoga also indicates earning money in a foreign land which Meghan has done as an actor and a member of the royal family. It links speech with spirituality and could account for Meghan’s role as a motivational speaker. Meghan’s most recent Hollywood role was providing the voice-over for a Disney documentary about Elephants. This projects combines the 2nd lord’s karaka of the voice with the 12th lords karaka of selflessness as her fee from the project was donated to the cause (Wikipedia 2020).
